Introduction

to critical thinking
The practice of critical thinking can be traced back to the philosophers of Ancient Greece. Legend names Socrates among its early practitioners. Walking through the gardens of Athens, he would listen to his students. Instead of providing ready-made solutions to their problems, he would prompt them to discover the truth by asking thought-stimulating questions. Although the ancient Greeks did not call this approach critical thinking, its essence resonates in the modern concept, which emphasizes questioning and evaluating information.
Today, literature on critical thinking presents several approaches: some authors emphasize philosophy and logic, others focus on psychology and cognitive biases, and still others on fact-checking. This variety reflects the complexity of the thinking process, which involves multiple components that can be developed independently.
Inspired by ideas from each of these approaches, we have compiled a comprehensive guide. This section is dedicated to the fundamentals of critical thinking.
